Chapter 873: Let Me Deal With This Kid

Money had always cultivated silently. It wasn't that he did not enjoy fighting, but he had never been too strong. If he got overly aggressive, he could die easily.
After years of silent cultivation and the numerous fortuitous encounters he had obtained by Xiang Shaoyun's side, his cultivation finally showed results, propelling him into becoming a ninth-stage Demon Emperor. Relying on his evolution into a true dragon, his combat prowess had reached a level comparable to any of these genius disciples.
After all, the true dragons were an extremely powerful race. Money possessed a mutated bloodline and an incomparably powerful lightning affinity that granted him a rather significant strength.
When Lei Bao saw how close Money was to a dragon now, a look of yearning covered his eyes as he praised, "What a fine dragon snake. I believe it now possesses half a dragon's bloodline and is on the verge of becoming a true dragon."
Lei Bao once set his sights on Money as well, but he ultimately decided against that. But when he looked at Money again, he was filled with envy. Even if Money was stuck at this form forever and couldn't become a true dragon, his current bloodline power was enough to make him a remarkable demonic beast with an exceedingly bright future.
The other disciples also noticed the same thing, and they all exclaimed in astonishment. Of course, they were envious as well, but they also knew that there were things that they just wouldn't be able to get.
Before Xiang Shaoyun could even feel joy on behalf of Money, a bright golden radiance burst out of the crater, and Zhan Wushuang charged out. Clearly, he had not been defeated.
A few cuts were visible on his body, and a rather large amount of blood could be seen on his body. He looked somewhat sorry, but the aura he exuded had grown instead of weakened, shocking everyone.
"Apart from Baili Yixiao, you are the first Emperor to have ever injured me. Xiang Shaoyun, well done. If I don't beat you down today, I will write my name in reverse from now on!" declared Zhan Wushuang, who was finally truly furious.
The golden radiance around his body continuously brightened as the ambient gold energy converged around him. This was the sign that he was starting to use the profundity of gold. After gathering a rich amount of gold energy into his body, he actually started growing in size, with crackling sounds erupting from his bones. This was quite an astonishing sight.
He was entering the second stage of the Indestructible Avatar. His strength rose to an unimaginable level, and he was finally using his full strength.
Xiang Shaoyun wanted to attack while Zhan Wushuang was still gathering energy, but Money pounced on Zhan Wushuang before he could do anything.
"Boss, let me deal with this kid. He is not worth more of your time," said Money. He looked at Zhan Wushuang and roared, "Hey, kid! You were having a lot of fun beating me earlier, right? Now, it's Grandpa Money's turn to torture you!"
"Kid? Grandpa Money?" For some reason, the many disciples felt like laughing when they heard that.
Zhan Wushuang's face darkened. Never before had anyone treated him with such derision.
"I will rip you apart!" Zhan Wushuang roared as he charged Money, his entire body exuding power as though he was a barbaric dragon.
His battle intent was unparalleled, and his fist intent was unending. He punched, and it was as though an endless golden rainbow had spread forth before him. The attack reached Money instantly, but instead of dodging, Money clawed at the fist energy with his silver claws.
Bang!
The silver claws similarly contained boundless strength. The punch was stopped, but Money was still sent flying, which was unsurprising. Even so, he had blocked Zhan Wushuang's punch head on. That feat alone was incredibly shocking.
"Kid, that hurts. Take my punch instead," Money roared before transforming into a bolt of lightning that traveled at an extreme speed. Forming a fist with his claws, he launched it at Zhan Wushuang.
Instantly, hundreds of lightning bolts rained down from the sky and combined with the fist energy.
With a look of disdain, Zhan Wushuang replied, "Even if you are a true dragon, I will be slaying a dragon today."
And thus, the two engaged in close combat. Rumbling sounds erupted endlessly. Numerous shockwaves rippled out, wreaking destruction all over the area. This battle was actually even more intense than the battle involving Xiang Shaoyun earlier.
Money seemed to be doing completely fine. He could be seen alternating between throwing punches and whipping his tail about. He also constantly let out terrifying dragon roars, as though a true dragon was actually battling Zhan Wushuang.
Zhan Wushuang's battle intent was fully provoked. His unrivaled fist intent surged; his fists seemed capable of punching even the sky apart. He was akin to an ancient fiendgod, overbearing and terrifying, worthy of being one of the strongest disciples on the Dragon Phoenix List.
One ought to know that he had gone through repeated battles, yet he was still capable of unleashing such prowess. Just that display alone was enough to put many disciples to shame.
Even Xiang Shaoyun lamented inwardly, I won't be able to defeat him regardless of the energy I use. I will only be able to match him if we are at the same cultivation level. At that point, I will be able to defeat him if I use the nine-colored fog. This is an opponent worthy of respect.
Who would have thought that a freshly broken through Money was actually strong enough to fight Zhan Wushuang? Each time he was blasted away by Zhan Wushuang, he would return and continue fighting relentlessly. In fact, he had done so over a dozen times, as though he was an incredibly resilient cockroach.
From that, one could see that although Zhan Wushuang was still stronger than Money, he wasn't strong enough to fully defeat Money.
Relying on his speed, Money landed many attacks on Zhan Wushuang. Bombarded by an unending barrage of lightning attacks, Zhan Wushuang's Indestructible Avatar seemed like it wasn't going to last much longer. If this continued, he would suffer defeat through sheer exhaustion.
Zhan Wushuang was not some random pushover. He was a tyrant with an unyielding battle intent and an incomparable battle prowess. He would not allow something like that to happen. Once again, he pushed himself to his limits, trying to unleash a final attack that could finish off his opponent.
"Time to end this, little worm," Zhan Wushuang roared as he joined his fists before unleashing his strongest attack, Unrivaled Sky Crushing Punch!
It was an attack that seemed capable of causing the sky to collapse, an attack few could stop. It seemed like even Money would be smashed into mincemeat despite his tough body. Everyone held their breath in suspense, awaiting the final result. And it was at that moment that Xiang Shaoyun suddenly moved.
